Welcome to The Ocarina Network, a place for ocarina enthusiasts from all around the globe!

Today our friend David Ramos (often better known as DocJazz) announced a kickstarter to fund the production of a method book for the Ocarina. David began this project in 2014, after seeing the lack of available material, and this is his opportunity to bring it to fruition. The link to the KickStarter can be found HERE . If anyone has any questions, post them here, as I am sure David will be visiting the page to answer any questions, and this post will be updated with new information as it arrives.Posted Image

Thanks so much Stephen! You might remember when I started my "How to Play Ocarina" video series last January. Well, that actually came to fruition out of my idea for this book in early 2014, but I decided to try the video series first to see what the response would be, which was overwhelmingly positive. With every episode, I was writing the book along side it, and I'm so excited to finally piece it all together and finish up the video series!

Added my contribution! Take the physical book for now I will see if I update it tomorrow to the 75$....But still If you need it, David, I can make the french trad, also for the videos ^^And I hope meet you face to face one day!!!

Just a little update that we've reached 80% funding in less than a week! We have about $950 more to go, so if you've been thinking about contributing, it would be awesome to have this fully funded by Wednesday! http://bit.ly/htpo-book

i've just contributed! so close to reaching the objective i really hope it's going to happen i wish to learn and understand music better so i can enjoy playing.i would be pleased with a french version ;-)

Thanks so much, and thank you to everyone who helped us reach our initial goal of $5000! Now it's time for our stretch goals so we can print some DVDs and donate some of the method books and free ocarinas to public schools! http://bit.ly/htpo-book

Oh wow. This was timely. First time I've been on this forum for years and I pop in to catch this announcement. David, you were a great inspiration to me way back when I started so I'm glad to be able to support you on this kickstarter.

Hey everyone, just an update that we only have 7 days left to reach our big stretch goal of donating free ocarinas and method books to schools! Please consider sharing the project on your social networks by copying/pasting this blurb:
